Mission Trip planning

These past couple of few days we have been getting through the crust of a strawberry jam toast. I say crust because these past few weeks and more coming will prove to be on of the most grilling as we, the SLM (Student Lead Movement) team, Anele, Thandeka, Thandekile, Slie and Noscelo have to plan a 5 weeks mission trip for university students who are coming in from the States to serve in Durban. With that, we need to ensure that from logistics to catering, that our students are able to fully participate in this years community involvement with the Summer Project (university students from the States). Each member in the team has a role to play and as I think about it, Thandeka and I need to finalise the student brochure and invitation letter before the end of today so it may be sent out to all the students who will be participating during their holidays so that they could inform their parents. We hoping to get our campus students in for 1 to 2 weeks working with the Summer Project in different area's of Durban namely KwaDabeka, Newlands, Umlazi and Cator Manor. The aim is to partner with different local church and not only be a blessing to what the church is doing in that community but also engage in forging a relationship between student/campus ministry with them for future prospects. For example, we will be working with Qhilika High School in Umlazi. They are excited to host us and we are equally excited to be with them for a week. We are looking into the different activities we could run for the entire school from leadership training for prefects, to seminars, to evangelical and discipleship training in their SCO (Student Christian Organization). We have come up with a tool box, thats basically everything we are capable of running at the school during the peiod we are there. As we continue knitting the pieces together we just hoping we do not run out of time and that is of great essence. Anele, our SLM team leader in is Pretoria this week for presentations and reporting, so thats taking away a bit of man power but on ourselves, we all have clear cut directions to where we are going, how to get there is where prayer is needed the most but we trusting the Lord for his guidance. 

By July, we should be making our way to the strawberry jam layer
